Tasmota Installer Exposure

What is the "Tasmota Installer Exposure?"

The "Tasmota Installer Exposure" module is designed to detect a specific misconfiguration in the Tasmota software installation. Tasmota is an open-source firmware that allows users to control and monitor smart devices. This module focuses on identifying instances where the Tasmota installer is exposed, potentially leading to unauthorized access or exploitation.

This module has a high severity level, indicating that the misconfiguration it detects can pose a significant risk to the security of the system.

Impact

If the Tasmota installer is exposed due to misconfiguration, it can allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to the system. This can lead to various security risks, including unauthorized control of smart devices, data breaches, and potential compromise of the entire network.

How does the module work?

The "Tasmota Installer Exposure" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target system and analyzing the responses. It looks for specific patterns in the response body, such as the presence of phrases like "Install Tasmota" or "Tasmota Installer." Additionally, it verifies that the HTTP response status is 200 (OK).

By combining these matching conditions, the module can identify instances where the Tasmota installer is exposed and report it as a potential vulnerability.

Example HTTP request:

GET /install/

Matching conditions:

- The response body contains either "Install Tasmota" or "Tasmota Installer" - The HTTP response status is 200 (OK)

If both conditions are met, the module considers the Tasmota installer to be exposed.
